Variability in Forage Crop Field Experiments and Yardstick There of

The fodder yield data along with other details of 1058 field experiments conducted during 1995–2005 at 19 research stations of the then Gujarat Agricultural University were collected and analysed. The CV% were also calculated and frequency distribution tables were prepared for various experimental factors. The upper fiducial limits (the yardstick) of CV% at 95% confidence based on non central ‘t’ distribution were worked out for accepting the results of forage crop experiments which emerged as 14%.
